Marilyn Waring vs. economic orthodoxy: UN system of National account
- right: The attack on Keynesianism (right ad left)
- it behaved like robinhood (keyn). It was a socialist view. Move from
demand side, to the supply side instead. Don’t focus on fiscal spending but
monetoary supply, pritoirize inflation.
- get away from the social safety net.
- left: ideological left: govt tool of a class, it worked on behaf on the cap
class. Only one class can extract surplus value from another class. Saving
cap. Insturment of one class. This state would be overthrown along with cap.
Cap was in cris during depression,growth of unionism and what not and cap
went crashing down and social came in. after wwII cap came back even
stronger.
- cap econoy: three roles of state. One accumulation, legitimization and
coerision.
- accumulation: maximize prfits
- Legitmation: genis of keynism of neo marx. Accumulation of the state the
purpose is to reconcile to the people who were suffered under cap. Provide
just enough ligetimation loyal to cap the people.old age pension, student
loans and what not. Govt handing out just enough to be loyal. People
thought equality was a lie, but after the war there was diversity and what
not such as Osgoode.
- coercion: when ligetimation and accumulation don’t work they resport to
this. The army, the poilice, this is neomarxist.
What is work? Alienation and class, employment, unemployment and
underemployment (Main st to bay st.), top ten lists: pay, danger and crime,
labour and law, perspectives on labout and management 7. Westray
- what is work? Russell: two kinds of work, first is altering the postion of
matter, moving things around. Second telling others to do stuff. Firs kind of
work tends to be unpleasant, poorly paid, dangerous. Second kind is tends
to be pleasant, well paid, and safe. Adam smith’s definition: it is an activity
requiring the worker to give up his tranquility, freedom and happiness in
order to live. Pros nels Anderson: work is the continuous emoloyment in the
prodsuction of goods and services for immurunation of pay. So work for pay.

services for others.
- what people look like for their jobs (profs example).
- work is an essential part of human being. Only human can take raw
materials from the environment and make something from it.
- your occupation today largely shapes the quality of your life.
- your education will tell you what kind of occupation you get, maintain
yourself to community standards all this depends on the kind of job ou get
- unemployment breaks down relationship, who and what were are, feeling
unworthy
Alienation and class:
- provision of labour
- alienation is a state of mind, derived from a cap economy.
- effect people who buys too, the owner of the labour, doesn’t only effect
eorkers
- manifests in four ways: self- other products and proccess
- where does is come from? Concentration of mean o… increasing number of
people make their living by selling their labour power, working for someone
else.
- division of labour: when and how its going to get made
- development is market, land, labour:
- cap dehumanizes workers
- alientated from other in cap, compete with collogues, avoid being laid off,
to avoid being unemployed.
- to end alientation you have to end cap
- social class is contested.
- we don’t have class anymore, we have individuals now.
- you belong to the class you say you beling too
- for marx class isn’t subjective
- it means your class position determines whether you buy labour or sell it.
- social clss: group of set shares common charteristics or experiences based
on their location in the economy. These characteristics shape and limit the
kinds of power that individuals members have access too, your class position
goes a long way how much economic power you have, be able to shape you
workplace, it infuences you economic power, potical power, influence govt
